permaculture

[Tripp Tibbetts <slowfoodguy@yahoo.com>]

Lawrence, I got that part.  The 'What?' was in response to all the other 
mess.  For example, what, about my allegorical rant against trying to contain 
the uncontainable (permaculture going feral), would lead you to believe I was 
pro-chemical spray, of all things?
 
Your post was pretty confusing.  Or rather, confused.

Did you read the post? I said:

What issues were you involved in activism for?

Anti-war? Tax reform? Free Tibet? Fund raising for low income people?
Municipal landscapes, parks and community gardens, urban neighborhood 
farms? Providing healthcare for the needy?

Well,

The simple machines forum software you are suggesting is exactly what
I use at permies.com.

While this list has 923 members, the forums at permies.com currently
has 5012 members.  For the month of october, the forums at permies.com
had 29,150 unique visitors - the difference being that there are a lot
of people that read and don't post.

(we've actually had over 25,000 member accounts, but I've deleted most
of the accounts under suspicion of them being spam accounts)
